Zakkendragershuisje, Guild house in Schiedam, Netherlands

The Zakkendragershuisje displays typical Dutch architectural features with a high gabled roof, sliding windows, and an ornamental bell tower at the top.

Built in 1725, this structure served as a central meeting point for the sack carriers guild, who were essential workers in the maritime trade industry.

The building features a polychrome facade stone showing the names of guild board members and an image of a sack carrier from the construction period.

Located at the intersection of maritime heritage sites in Schiedam, visitors can combine this monument with tours of nearby historical buildings.

The bell tower contains an original bell from the 18th century that was used to signal work opportunities for the sack carriers guild members.
